The privacy and the civil liberties protections established in the Executive Order process are to be consistent with the fair information practice principles including the principle of data minimization.

Let me thank you, Chairman Lankford, Chairman Meehan, and thank Ranking Member Jackie Speier for submitting my testimony to the record.

I would like to also hear from agency staff present about what milestones they feel have been reached and how they see their progress.

Well, that sounds good.

Opening Statement from Ranking Member Yvette D. Clarke

To my colleague, Congressman Chaka Fattah, it was a great day, November 21. But let me just say this: I want to thank you for your leadership. It is very appropriate that we're here on the House floor, a place where Mr. Gray's power was…

Yesterday I was unavoidably detained at a meeting and missed the first votes of the day. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall No. 254, the motion on ordering the previous question on the rule; and ``no'' on rollcall…

Today I rise in opposition to H.R. 1797. This act is both dangerous and unconstitutional and violates the rights of women who are in need of an abortion. It is blatantly unconstitutional and in clear violation of more than 40 years of…

Let me thank you, Mr. Speaker. And I'd like to thank my colleague, Mr. Horsford of Nevada, and my colleague and neighbor from Brooklyn, New York, the Honorable Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, for yielding their time and for their tremendous…

Mr. Chairman, I really do not have any further questions but just to say to our panelists today that you have kind of renewed my faith in the capacity of our nation to sort of remake itself from a capitalist standpoint.

Creating nearly two-thirds of all new jobs, our small businesses must remain front and center to our recovery.

Today, I rise in opposition to this rule and the underlying bill, H.R. 1911, Smarter Solutions for Students Act, the so- called Republican solution to address the impending student loan interest rate raise. Despite their rhetoric, the…

Without a strong mandate from the federal government, it's unrealistic to think they ever will.

Today I rise to voice my opposition to the proposed $20 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as the SNAP program. This program currently provides food assistance to 47 million Americans who otherwise…

I am glad that we are finally holding a hearing to look at these programs in depth and to assess the progress of the Department in carrying out that mission.

I believe the Department's responsibilities for protecting critical infrastructure, most of which is found in the private sector, is equally important.

It is high time that our subcommittee takes a closer look at these programs, some of which did not even exist just a few years ago.

I want to register my concerns over the continuing drain of senior cybersecurity leadership at the Department.

Today we find ourselves debating a bill that could result in the United States of America defaulting on our debts. It seems that the Republican majority of the 113th Congress has decided to continue the practice of governing from one…

Thank you, very much, Congressman Horsford, and I thank you for your leadership along with Congressman Jeffries in leading the Special Order hour for the Congressional Black Caucus. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join my colleagues in the…

if we go overboard to identify and eliminate every conceivable threat at any cost, we risk trampling the very rights of citizens we aim to protect.

But if we go overboard to identify and eliminate every conceivable threat at any cost, we risk trampling the very rights of the citizens we aim to protect.

Most of the Government's efforts in cybersecurity do not directly touch upon privacy issues, and that is an important distinction that is not made often enough.

I am proud of the work that Congress was able to do in providing the American people with quality health care regardless of preexisting conditions.

Due to the nature of crowdfunding, investors are less likely to be sophisticated and lack the ability to negotiate similar protections.
